EXPLORE

THE BAY AREA

The waterfront Sausalito address of The Inn Above Tide is a hidden plus. While intimate and tucked away facing and over the water; the hotel is infinitely accessible to some of Northern California's and the Bay area’s most compelling locations. Guests walk to both trend-setting and traditional dining, fashionable shops and galleries. Jump on one of The Inn Above Tide’s complimentary bicycles and cycle the waterfront promenade or the yacht harbor pathways. Scenic bike and walking paths extend to nearby coastal villages of Mill Valley and Tiburon.

Our Marin County locale is a compelling backdrop for The Inn Above Tide with scores of outdoor endeavors, charming villages, noted restaurants, beaches and thousands of acres of ruggedly beautiful parklands.

The Golden Gate Bridge crossing to San Francisco is a mere 5 minutes from The Inn Above Tide. The spectacular 20 minute ferry ride to downtown San Francisco is mere steps from the hotel.

The rolling hillside landscapes of Napa and Sonoma wine country and their world renowned and boutique family wineries beckons just 35 minutes north on Hwy 101.
